Ten Locks To Lock 64

Buttercups galore

Moored below Lock 64 after a very busy time working through ten locks. There's certainly a lack of grease on these Trent and Mersey Canal locks making the paddle gear even harder to shift. While we were busy there was a casserole in the oven so we had lunch when we'd moored up. There's buttercups as high as the windows here giving a pretty view from the windows.

About Me

I retired from primary teaching in 2006 and am now living afloat with my husband Eric on our narrowboat called 'Bendigedig'. The name means wonderful. After six years afloat we are still enjoying life. We used to spend the winter moored up in Wales when we could and the rest of the year we used to continuously cruise the canals and rivers of England and Wales.
But things have changed as we've now found a residential mooring at Whixall Marina which is lovely and quiet away from noisy roads and trains. We will use it as a base to cruise from when we get itchy feet in the Summer months. We've also bought a car so we aren't totally cut off from the world, which also makes visiting our family so much easier. In the winter we'll probably be frozen in as there's no flow on the Prees Arm. Ben the dog enjoys life with us on the boat and loves lots of long walks regardless of the weather.
